Dasatinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a highly effective treatment for Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia. However, the mechanism by which dasatinib induces cell death is unclear, particularly in vivo. Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation mechanism essential for cell survival and differentiation. Autophagy also protects cells from the effects of drugs, including those used to treat leukemia. Here, we report that dasatinib induces autophagy in Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia cell lines and further show the induction of autophagy in an immunodeficient mouse model of human Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia with central nervous system (CNS) infiltration. Autophagy was induced in bone marrow (BM) as well as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This study is the first to show that autophagy induction is one of the mechanisms underlying cell death in leukemic cells that infiltrate the CNS. Thus, autophagy may represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of Bcr-Abl leukemia with CNS infiltration.
